Laura has a dream that Steve has created an atomic bomb for a science project, and when it is about to detonate, nobody will listen to her. Unfortunately, the bomb is equipped with a fail-safe device: once the program is activated it can't be stopped.

The first episode in which Urkel's basement is seen, albeit only in a dream sequence. It would later become one of the main sets on the show.

The original scene where the atom bomb detonates and blows up chicago is censored in future airings and on the DVD set. This was likely due to the scenes of what the impact looked like being too gruesome.
